It's a convention I have long dropped in my normal writing if I ever did it. I will try and remember. Incidentally, M-q seems to remove the double space. Am I doing it wrong? > Also, please don't remove information about Windows 9X, as the 32-bit > MS-Windows build of Emacs still supports that. I would argue against this. I removed the material on Windows 9x since it has long since reached EOL -- 10 years, or 25% of Emacs' existance. While providing this information somewhere might be useful, having it in this readme mostly serves to make the readme and to some extent Emacs appear unmaintained. In addition, it also makes the documentation longer which adds to the impression that Emacs is hard to use. I'd be happy to look for somewhere else to put this information, if you think it need to be retained. Phil
